How are you? Yes, unless your doctor has instructed otherwise, you should take it as soon as you can today and then continue with your normal dosing schedule the next morning. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding and easy bruising.

I have been taking clopidogrel 75 for circulation for nearly four years now and my hair is so thin It won’t cover my scalp properly, the loss has speeded up in the last six months and I would like to know if you think it will stop before I loose it all (which won’t be long) or is there anything else you can suggest, thank you. ## That is not a common side effect, as listed by the FDA. They are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. There is really no way to be sure how any given medication will affect anyone that takes it, though. Are you on any other medications? How old are you? Have you consulted your doctor? There are other medications in this class that you can try.

i was prescribed Clopidogrel 75 after a suspected TIA. All completed tests results were normal but i suffer from post-polio syndrome and have muscle weakness in both upper and lower limbs. Since taking Clopidogrel i have experienced symptoms similar to flu symptoms, which diminished a few days after stopping the medication. I also feel very lethargic and fatigued whilst on the medication. Any explanation? i am reluctant to take the medication firstly because the TIA was not proved to have taken place and secondly because i feel so ill whilst on it. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, and the NIH does list those as being possible ones from this medication, along with dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. Have they checked your clotting...

Since I started talking clopidogrel 3 months now my hair is falling out by the handfuls. Is there a substitute for clopidogrel. ## Hello, Wayne! How are you? I'm sorry about the hair loss. There are other options you can try, but most of them can cause hair loss as a side effect, so there's no guarantee that switching will solve the problem. Along with hair loss, other side effects, as listed by the FDA, may include nausea, dizziness, easy bruising and increased risk of bleeding. But you could ask your doctor about trying something like Brilliant or Effient. They should be able to prescribe an appropriate alternative. Is there anything else I can help with?

The NIH lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and easy bruising. Are you on any other medications? How long have you been taking this medication?

I had a cardiac arrest 3-1/2 months ago. I had manageable hair before. Now my hair won't hold a curl and just lays flat ever since. I have tried everything. Is this related? I take only Clopidogrel and Losartan daily. ## Yes, many medications can cause this issue with your hair, they may also cause hair loss, according to FDA reports, along with nausea, dizziness, and increased urination. Have you changed anything else about your hair care routine and diet, or just the new medications? I've found the Aussie products work well for mine, since I am also taking Losartan with other blood pressure medications, but I usually have to skip conditioner most days, since it weighs my hair down.

Can I take atorvastatin in the morning with clopidogrel ## Hello, Geoff! How are you? That should be fine, if they've both been prescribed for you. However, as reported by the U.S. FDA, you may experience more nausea, dizziness and drowsiness than usual. Is there anything else I can help with? ## No thanks you have been very helpful

After being on this med for 7 years, I was told by my cardiologist to stop taking it. Now I am having various and odd ailments and wonder if they could be related to stopping this medication? ## Hello, Flea! How are you? Yes, they could be related to stopping it. Your body gets used to anything you ingest regularly for a long period of time and abruptly stopping can cause mild withdrawal symptoms. Some that are listed for this medication, by the FDA, may possibly include nausea, dizziness, elevated heart rate, elevated blood pressure and body aches/pains. Are you on any other medications?

Is sass the right medicene for my frozen shoulder problem without side effects,as prescribed by a doctor. Presently I use clopidogrel and statins post angioplaty 8 years ago. I am presently 74yrs. ## All medications carry the risk of causing side effects, even over the counter products. Saaz contains the active ingredient Sulfasalazine and its side effects may include nausea, dizziness and a folate deficiency. Learn more Saaz details here. And actually, combining it with the Clopidogrel could be somewhat dangerous, because they can both increase the risk of bleeding. Does your doctor monitor you regularly?

Doctor prescribed this medicine in place of Beta-Nicardia Is this medicine is good because it contains Asprin. ## This medication actually isn't used to treat high blood pressure. It is used as a blood thinner and to prevent blood clotting, so it's nothing like the Beta-Nicardia that you were taking. Are you sure it was supposed to replace it, or are you perhaps supposed to take it in addition to the other? Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, stomach irritation and increased risk of bleeding. ## DEh PLATT-CV 20 is Clopidogrel Bisulphate ( 75 mg ) with Atrovastain ( 20 mg ) and Aspirin ( 75 mg ). I want to know this drug is safe because it contains Asprin.

56 YO Male, taking this after a stint. I also take Atenolol, 100mg daily, Losartan 100mg 2x daily and Clopidogrel 75mg daily. Since the stint and the new meds, I am constantly dizzy. I do not believe the stint has anything to do with it, since it saved my life. I have read blogs where people feel uncomfortable with this "metal thing" in their body. I have no such feelings, I am eternally grateful for the "metal thing" and the miracle surgeons that put it there and saved my life. But back to my dizziness. Any suggestions?? ## It's difficult to say, because all of the medications you're taking have the potential to cause dizziness and it's possible that it's compounded due to that fact. The blood pressure/cardiac medications, Atenolol and Losartan also have...
